Star Cat - with PowerCore link points! (news) :APPLAUSE:

Star Cat - with its own connectors and odd sizing (not news)

I don't know anything about Star Cat, and doing a Google search didn't help, but that transforming fire truck looks awesome! I'm WAY more into that than just little bits of news about a dino-combiner.

If new info about the fire truck isn't going to be posted as news, then someone needs to tell drop me a PM about where to find out more info about it, because I seriously like what I see. I WANT that fire truck! lol

I'm no expert, but I'm sure that that's supposed to be Optimus Prime. Though I know absolutely nothing about Star Cat Rescue Force (Whatever that even is. :-(

) so maybe I'm wrong. What I do know is, I'm confused. :oops:

From what I've picked up on the InterWebz, Star Cat is some sort of Chinese show (anime?) that has characters like these.

Apparently it's rumoured that these may see mass production in China due to the popularity of the show, which may be good on our wallets if true.

Personally I hope they're done sort of like the Protectobots.

Combiners are a not-so-guilty pleasure for me, so if these end up being reasonably affordable I'll be all over them. Fantastic.

Really good point. The names 3rd parties give these guys are always space-filler to get around legal issues. They know we know who the characters are supposed to be.

As the "Star Cat" patrol comes together, I'll be really interested to see if the coloring changes our opinions.

Mind you, ole Hot Spot also sports a face plate. Hmmmmm. :-?

We'll see if he comes out red or baby blue, I suppose.

Bummer that this is just a custom. Not too shabby, really. I don't care for Swoop's head though.

Perhaps custom was the wrong word, unofficial TF figures. As far as I know these will be reproduced for retail.

Articulation seems unimpressive.

I believe that Herc's scale will be standard to any combiners that TFC will produce in the future.

Meaning eventually I'm going to have to get a bigger Combiners Shelf
